Condo of the Day: 55 Berry Street, #6G

Want to know how fast and far the Williamsburg condo market has moved in the past couple of years? Take a look at the price history on this top-floor unit at 55 Berry Street. After selling for $1,100,000 in 2012, the 1,245-square-foot pad was put on the market for $1,750,000 in May of 2013. After a couple months, the listing was pulled and just re-emerged again last week with a price tag of $1,695,000. It’s a nice place, to be sure, with high ceilings, modern kitchen and a private 1,000-square-foot roof deck. Can’t wait to see what it goes for.

I love how badly square footage is exaggerated nowadays. That apartment would be 1,369 square feet if it were SQUARE along its longest lines (37×37) and that’s counting mechanicals, etc. I doubt its even close to 1,000 square feet – and the roof deck is also less than 800 square feet.
